Does a car purchased in July 2012 require an annual inspection in 2021?

[DiNevaeh]

Yes. If it is a commercial passenger vehicle or a cargo vehicle, it requires an annual inspection every year after purchase. However, if it is a private car that meets the exemption conditions, it is exempt from inspection within the first 6 years. Although within the exemption period, you still need to submit proof of compulsory insurance and vehicle and vessel tax to the vehicle management office every two years to apply for the exemption mark, but the car does not need to undergo an on-site inspection. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months; 2. Cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. A car purchased in 2012 is exactly 9 years old now. For commercial passenger vehicles and cargo vehicles that are 9 years old, an annual inspection is required, so not just this year, but every subsequent year will require an on-site vehicle inspection.
